ANTOINE GUIPET, OF COURBEVOIE, NEAR PARIS, FRANCE.

WINDOW-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 237,860, dated February 15, 1881.

Applicationlled November 3,1880. (No model.) Patented in France September 28, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTOINE GUIPE'L, of Courbevoie, near Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation; Fig. 2, a trailsverse section 'taken on line M N of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional View taken on liney P Q, Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a like view on line R S, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the upper part of the frame, provided with a molded independent frontal or pediment. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view taken on line X Y of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a transverse section through a sill designed to be used with or without this frame. Fig. 8 is a like view through a sill designed to be used in connection with a door. Fig. 9 is a vertical longitudinal section of one of the auxiliary sills, taken on line x .r of Fig. 7.

This invention has for its object the providing of a cast-iron window-frame of such construction as will render it convenient in handling7 transportation, &c., and of such `architectural design as will present a pleasing and sightly appearance, and also of a sill designed to prevent water penetrating into the apartments.

In the drawings, A denotes the sill, which forms the base of the pilaster or panel B, said sill being held, by bolts and nuts b, to the ange or curbing t of the panel B, as shown in Fig. 4. It is understood that a drip-stone, P, is placed before the panel to aid in preventing drip of water upon the faade. The pilasters or panels B are formed with an ornamented front, a', and flanges f, said flanges designed to hold shutters or blinds in wood or in sheet-iron.

The ornamental pediment C may be in one piece and a part of the frame, as shown in Fig. 3. This construction may be employed if the pediment be not extensive. If on the contrary, and the upper ornaments are important, the pediment may form a separate part of the frame and be xed to the upper or horizontal piece, D, of the frame by bolts c, as shown in Fig. 6.

The frame is held in place by lugs d, instead of bolts, as is the common practice. These lugs d are formed upon the exterior walls of the panel of the frame, and also behind the pediment, and being embedded in the wall form an invisible and secure attachment of the frame.

The sill E (shown in Fig. 7 of drawings) is cast or formed in one piece, and has a curb, F, to prevent Water driven by the winds from .penetrating into the interior or apartment.

The curb F forms a channel, G, to receive the drip of water from the window H. This channel is made downwardly-inclined toward the center or ends, and from the lowest point or points thereof outwardly extend escape-passages I, to allow such drip of water to pass off. The exterior curb, J, is also provided with a channel, K, to catch such Water as may pass under the Wind-guard L. This channel K is at suitable points provided with escape-passages M, to allow such water to pass off.

The under side of the wind-guard L is provided with a groove, L', to prevent water passing to and under the sash.

The opening under the sill will be filled with plaster or by a flange on the base to prevent inriltrations. This sill may also be used with a door, in which case it is made lower, as shown in Fig. 8 of the drawings.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In an iron or other window-frame, the combination of a removable sill, A, secured by bolts and nuts b passing through ljange a, forming a part of the panels B, and a dripstone, as set forth.

2. In an iron or other windowframe, a frontal or pediment, C, secured by bolts c to the top D of the frame, as set forth.

3. The panels B, in an iron or other window-frame, formed with an ornamented front, a', and iianges f, as and for the purpose set forth.
